Rajika Puri

Rajika Puri is an exponent of Bharatanatyam and Odissi who - since she played ‘narrator/goddess Kali’ in The Transposed Heads directed by Julie Taymor - has developed a form of danced storytelling in which she accompanies her dancing with songs, chants, vocalised rhythmic syllables, and a narrative in English. Her productions now combine choreographed dances with danced stories. Rajika also lectures and writes on dance and theatre from a cultural perspective.
